A Little Girl Remembers A Little Smile

--by erinvictoria, posted Apr 27, 2011

It was one of those days when I just couldn't summon up any enthusiasm for my dead-end, low-paid job.

Then, as I walked from the carpark, I heard a little girl say, "Mom! Look! It's the nice cashier who always smiles at me!"

That made my day! A little girl remembered I had been kind to her. Perhaps she had been having a bad day and my smile cheered her up. I don't know. All I know is that she remembered I smiled at her!

I smiled at everyone the rest of the day. I continue to try to do so now I understand better the impact you can have in even such a brief exchange.

By the way, the next time I saw that little girl I asked her mom if it was okay to give her a treat. I told her to pick the biggest candy bar she could find. She said she preferred licorice. So, licorice it was, and I gave it to her with a smile!
